Abstract

Cinnamon is a nine-year-old female spayed toy poodle. She presented to the emergency service at Cornell with a chief complaint of seizures. Cinnamon had had a cluster of seizures including behavior such as convulsions, screaming, and attempts to bite. The seizures lasted for less than a minute each and Cinnamon had no prior history of seizure activity. On presentation, Cinnamon was notably obtunded. She was admitted to the intensive care unit and stabilized. A neurologic examination suggested a prosencephalic lesion with no lateralizing signs. Over the next few days she continued to improve and a diagnosis of Plumbism (lead toxicosis) was obtained. She began chelation therapy at Cornell and made an amazing recovery. The diagnosis and treatment of Plumbism will be discussed.
